Madden 08

Hi, I just purchased madden 08 and I'm having problems passing the ball to my intended receiver. The ball usually goes to the wrong receiver. I make sure that I always press the correct button on the control pad while passing but it still goes to the wrong receiver. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong? Please help, thanx!

I have a similar problem, except my QB freqently throws the ball right at the snap, before I even get a chance to pick a receiver. I don't have this problem in shotgun formation, and USUALLY it goes where it's supposed to after that (I'll allow for the fact that I'm probably hitting the button wrong when it doesn't, since I'm pretty new to this game). Can it be that my opposing defense has that good of a pass rush?

To avoid the dreaded snap-pass, try to stop your upward motion slower. When you try to stop the snap too fast, your wrist will move forward a little at the end and cause you to throw the ball right away.
